Breanna's 8th Birthday Party

Breanna had a "Bindi, The Jungle Girl" Birthday Party. A lady came with snakes, and frogs, and bugs, and centipeds, and taranchillas and scorpians. We all got to touch and hold them. It was very exciting and many kids said that it was the best party they had ever been to. Bella was facinated with the Boa and in this picture they are touching noses.

Memorial Day

On Sunday morning we drove to Malad and went to church in the 5th Ward. Everyone was so glad to see mom. We all felt Dad's presence and knew that he was proud to see us all in church together. After church we went to Dad's grave and put flowers in the pots on the headstone. The flowers just fit in the pots and the headstone was so beautiful. It is hard to believe that Dad has been gone for 2 years. We all miss him so much. Flowers were also placed on Grandma and Grandpa Williams' grave. We then went to the Dude Ranch. We met Bonnie and Wendell and they ate with us. Mom also saw lots of people she knew there. Then we went to St. John and saw Grandma and Grandpa Harris' graves. We drove up to Power House and found it looking very beautiful. It got us excited to go camping there. We also went to Cherry Creek to check on the houses. It was fun to all be together and we had a great day. "We miss you, Dad."

Deck Remodeling

Since I have such a nice deck I decided to add new furniture and some flowers and a fountain. It is such a cozy little spot. I got money back from the government and they said to put it back into the economy so I did.

4H Horse Show for Mini Riders

Breanna showed Jessica in Halter, Western Pleasure (walk-trot) speed barrels, poles and barrels. She did so good. I can't believe that my grandchildren are now in 4H. I don't know how I did it with 4 in 4H many years ago. It is a big job but so much fun. It was so fun to see the little tiny riders with their big horses. We had a very fun day. Good Job Breanna!!

Hannah's Last Day

Hannah's last day at school was Friday. Her family moved to Saratogo Springs. I grew to love her very much and I think she loved me too. It was like she was mine. She was very stubborn and so hard at times but something about her was so endearing. I cried all the way home from school. I will miss her so much.

Camping at Antelope Island

Angie, Doug, Breanna, Riley, Dawson and Cristine went to Angelope Island on Friday and Saturday. We took the new tent trailer as well as the horses. Angie fixed a wonderful dutch oven dinner on Friday night and Doug fixed a full breakfast on Saturday morning. We took 2 small rides on the horses on Friday and a long ride on Saturday. We went to the west side of the island and the rock formations are pretty awesome and the views are spectacular. We saw 3 buffalo and several antelope and a rabbit. We also saw and felt several million bugs. They were terrible! There must needs be opposition in ALL things. All in all though we had a great time.

Blessing Day for Elyse

Elyse was blessed today by her father, Jason Richards. There were 15 other men standing in the circle. She was blessed in the Londonderry Ward where her Grandma Cristine and Great Grandma Maisie and Aunt Angie and family reside. After church we had a scone dinner. There were most of Jay's family as well as most of the Williams Family which turned out to be quite a big crowd. After dinner we had a little show off time of the Paso Finos and gave some rides to the kids. We had a great afternoon together. Thanks everyone for coming!

Arch, Bishop of Moorpark - March 30, 2008

Maisie, Dianne, Cristine, Trudy and Lew all traveled to California to see Arch put in as Bishop of the Moorpark Ward. Kiley's brother Gary and family were there also. We are all very proud of Arch and his worthiness to serve. He will be a great Bishop and will carry on the name of Bishop Williams and Bishop Arch. We had a great weekend together and so enjoyed the warmer weather and green grass and flowers.
